Hello all. I’m currently receiving ClearQAM (without a cable package) through TWC. I just found out that they are converting all their channels to digital and encrypting them in the process. In order to avoid losing all the channels I currently have (and to get better signal than the portable OTA antenna I currently have), I want to put an antenna in the attic of our 2 story home (don’t want to get onto the roof!)
I’m looking or antenna recommendations and don’t know if I really need any kind of amplification/amplifier. As you can see in the picture below, there are trees just outside our backyard and across the street. Many of them are taller than our home. Also, elevation-wise, we're probably sitting towards the bottom of the neighborhood, which also probably makes receiving a good signal more difficult.
As far as routing of the antenna signal, the house was built with coax to jacks in almost every room. The coax from each room’s jack routes to a central junction box. Currently, only one of those cables is connected to a source (cable internet). My plan is to route the cable from the antenna in the attic down to the junction box, split it in 2, and route those 2 signals to 2 separate rooms where a TV could be hooked up.

Thanks in advance for the help!
